Due to continual misspellings of the “rogue” class, we have officially changed the name to the easier to type “rouge.”

Rouges may now cast Stealth while Stealthed, entering the state of Double Stealth, which is not only stealthier than Stealth, but also causes the word stealth to cease to make sense to your brain. Stealth.

Many eons ago, the internet was a series of Bulletin Boards Systems and Usenet newsgroups. Users traded stories shareware, hopes and aspirations and connected with other like-minded individuals until the wee hours of the morning ... or until someone picked up the phone.


One of the better gags Blizzard has done.

Been playing http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/black-dragonflight/gorgosh/simple, if you could add that toon to the list. :)

Not really, no. The Forsaken are not Deathknights, and Deathknights are not Forsaken. Two completely different lore paths that go with the two.
Deathknights are souls collected by Frostmourne from the Lich King to do his bidding.

Canceled my account, failed PT test so I canceled my account and uninstalled Ends tomorrow at 0725AM. Gona raid one last night and tell my GM I can't let myself play until I pass a PT test since I went from destroying a PT test to failing my 2 mile run.

Does anyone actually raid the cities anymore? I always thought that was one of the funnest things.

I occasionally do. It's a little more difficult now, I think. I tried it a few weeks ago and it wasn't easy. Especially since Wrynn kept bugging out and randomly disappearing for no reason at all.

I've never played WoW. Should I get it? Is it too late to enjoy the regular game?

I would defiantly try the free-trail, I'm not really sure what you mean by "regular game" tho.

Kind of, but not really. You could probably get to 85 in a month or two (depending how often you play, some people do it in much less), and Cataclysm is still fairly new, so you might be able to catch up to everyone in the end game gear grind before the next tier releases. But then again, I think Vanilla through Cata costs somewhere around $70-$100. If you're just wanting to play casually and enjoy the content, I'd say go for it. But if your main goal is to rush to end game and either Raid/PvP grind for gear, I'd think about it first.

EDIT: Didn't see your no expansions comment. Yeah, it's probably worth it. It's like $20 for Vanilla, and I think you can even get vanilla and TBC for $20-$30 in a box set. What'd I do is activate a vanilla account, play through your free 30 days, then activate TBC to get another free 30 days. Now, I'm not quite sure that would work now, but it did for me a few years back.

Thanks for the feedback. I mainly want to play at my own pace and explore. I don't care about catching up to everyone right away.

Dragonborn1, I recommend you get the free trial of WoW. Recently, with Cataclysm, Blizzard completely revamped the 1-60 zones (which was originally what we call "vanilla WoW, no expansions") and they are literally a blast. A lot of fun to quest in, so entertaining. And the thing is, it isn't a part of Cataclysm, it's still the vanilla experience, you don't have to buy anything besides the base game to experience it. If you've got a few hours a week, or what have you, to burn, I highly recommend giving it a try at least.
During the past 6 years of World of Warcraft, questing has gone through a lot of changing and updates, and the original vanilla questing experience was..well..to be blunt, completely atrocious and hell. It was so brutal. So clunky, drawn out, insane quest chains that had breaks and ends that didn't make sense, it was awful. They've gotten a LOT better though, and with Cata, they've brought whole new ways to quest including very nice phasing, which is essentially the game world changing around you as you quest, etc. It's a lot of fun. So, with the updated vanilla experience, you get the quality of Cata combined with the nostalgia of vanilla. ^_^

It's more fun, but now you get from 1-60 in 1/4 the time, and once you hit 60 you're at a dead end until you buy BC. And then you have to trudge through boring slow Outland for 10 levels, and grueling Northrend for another 10.

Well, that's the point, isn't it? The game isn't meant to be played at level 60, or 70, or 80, but 85. Thus is the nature of an ever-growing MMO.
But, I'd disagree with you slightly on that point. Depending on what your interest are, and depending on the server you are on, you could still snag some pug MC/BWL/AQ40 raids. :P I still do it on all of my characters, I clear all vanilla raid content weekly on 3 toons, one of which is a 70 twink hunter. Full tier 6+legendary sunwell bow. ^_^
But, your point is correct and valid. The game is meant to be progressed through. Thus buying BC is kind of the thing to do after you hit 60. But, that's only if you want to and you enjoyed the experience. I think of base WoW as a glorified trial.

You can activate a trial for each expansion before you buy it, and get an extra 10 days of free time. I bought each expansion, activated the trial for 10 days, then installed the expansion and repeated. :P

I want to but Blizz has made it nearly impossible now since the guards have insane health and spawn rates. They even said they wanted to make world pvp better but pretty much hurt it.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds good. I'm finally going to give it a try after all these years. Oh and hey you changed your avatar I see.
